All you have to do is click on a button, give it a name and you are ready to dive in. You don’t even have to commit to a name because you can easily change Select Month both the name and url of your site at any time. This has af f ected the culture of Tumblr because there are so many one-of f sites. For example, when Arcade Fire won a grammy, someone started a tumblog called Who is Arcade Fire, which posted examples of angry f ans complaining about this band they’d never heard of . This sort of site that is incredibly 40Tech Team timely and f ocused on something very specif ic is common on Tumblr. If you’ve ever had a crazy idea f or a site but thought it would be too much work to set up a whole new blog, Founding Editor: you may want to use Tumblr f or it. Such are the things book deals are made of Evan Kline Contact | Twitter If using your own custom domain is a sticking point, don’t worry as both sites support it. You can also have custom pages, other than your blog (e.g. Links, About, etc.). Perhaps Senior Editor: you are concerned about making sure content plays nice with your smart phone. Bobby Travis Posterous has a nice clean interf ace on my Android; Tumblr’s is damn sexy – though Contact | Twitter Tumblr’s currently has a bug that will only let you post to your main blog. If your phone isn’t f ancy but does have email, you can use Posterous to post by email (more on that later). With either site it is dead simple to take a picture with your phone and have it up on your site in no time, and both sites allow you to post content at a later date. This is a great way to keep content f resh and not overwhelm your readers. For example, on my hyperlocal site, I have a “hooptie of the month” picture. I actually posted all of the pictures at one time, but they only show up on the dates I’ve scheduled—shh! Don’t tell! This encourages Tumblr to have shorter posts: why post all ten hoopties f rom the car show, when I can get twelve posts out of it? The advantage with Posterous is that they actually support f ormatting the date in a multitude of ways, so you could type 12/22/12 or Dec. 22 2012 and it will f igure out what PDFmyURL.com you mean. Tumblr has only one f ormat and they don’t tell you what it is, so I’m of ten lef t scratching my head trying to f igure out how they want it typed. However I think Tumblr wins because they have a queuing option. Just click “Add to my queue” and it will wait to post that item f or a f ew hours. You may customize the queue so that queued posts go up at a certain time, or you may rearrange the order they will post. Finally, if you want to have a group site or accept submissions f rom the masses, both sites will make the process easy f or you and your users. In the next section, we will get into the gritty on where each of these sites truly shines. In Favor of Posterous Post by Email PDFmyURL.com The beaming pride of Posterous is the ability to send an email to a secret address that will automatically post to your blog. We’re not just talking about text here. Attached photos will show up as a slide show and attached music will display in a music player. Add tags by putting them in double parenthesis in the Subject box. All you need is a link to a YouTube video to get it to display the embedded player. Pretty much anything you can post, you can post by email. Uploads Aplenty Tumblr only allows one song to be uploaded every day. This doesn’t include songs PDFmyURL.com embedded through other sites or links to songs posted on your own server, just what they hold onto f or you. Also remember that you could post ten songs and queue them to post at dif f erent times in the week. But if you’re determined to post f ive songs every day, this could be a f actor. In Posterous, you may upload 100 MB, regardless of what the content is. At that size, you’re more likely to be limited by your email provider (though you can still post via the web). Import Your Existing Blog If you already have an existing blog that you’d be switching f rom, this could be the deal- breaker on Tumblr. It’s easy to switch to Posterous because you can use their import f eature to bring in all the posts you wrote on some other site, whether that site be Ning, Tumblr, TypePad, WordPress, ActiveRain, TwitPic, Blogger, or Movable Type. Private Blogs While you can set certain posts to be private, only in Posterous can you make the whole blog private. You could start a blog f or your f amily reunion, f or example, that only members of your f amily can see. Tumblr is very much about their community, so it is understandable that their site is not designed f or this f unctionality. Autopost Autopost is the f eature that has me devoted to Posterous. Ever known someone that PDFmyURL.com somehow manages to post all their content everywhere? Ever wish you could post once and have everything go to all your sites? Sure, there are other sites that will automatically send your blog to Facebook and Twitter. But with Posterous, you can set it to automatically send the pictures in your blog Picasa and Flickr. That concert f ootage you just blogged will automatically post to your YouTube account. Most importantly, you can autopost to your own domain. And you can do this all by sending one email. Recently I noticed that the pictures and music I autoposted weren’t displaying with the pretty f ormatting I mentioned above—no nif ty music player or picture gallery, just a long string of pics and an icon that says “click to listen on Posterous.” The issue was only on sites where I autoposted; it showed up on Posterous f ine. I could understand if they did this deliberately, to drive traf f ic back to Posterous blogs. I emailed them to ask if this was a permanent change or if it was a bug and they wrote back, “Thanks for the report, we’ve been responding to changes in the autopost destination’s API, and are working hard to maintain/restore the functionality you’re used to.” This is critical, as it would be unacceptable to have my main blog look like a duplicate site that redirects to a Posterous blog! Hopef ully they will have this resolved soon.

Twitter enables users to connect with others through 140-character messages called “tweets” that answer the question, “What’s happening?” Twitter use has increased exponentially to more than five million active users but has a dropout rate of more than 50%. Numerous agricultural organizations have embraced the use of Twitter to promote their products and agriculture as a whole and to interact with audiences in a new way.

  • Marketing and Communications for Artists Boost Your Social Media Presence
    MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS FOR ARTISTS BOOST YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE QUESTIONS FOR KIANGA ELLIS: INTERNET & SOCIAL MEDIA In 2012, social media remains an evolving terrain in which artists and organizations must determine which platforms, levels of participation, and tracking methods are most effective and sustainable for their own needs. To inform this process, LMCC invited six artists and arts professionals effectively using social media to share their approaches, successes, and lessons learned. LOWER MANHATTAN CULTURAL COUNCIL (LMCC): Briefly describe your work as an artist and any other roles or affiliations you have as an arts professional. KIANGA ELLIS (KE): Following a legal career on Wall Street in derivatives and commodities sales and trading, I have spent the past few years as a consultant and producer of art projects. My expertise is in patron and audience development, business strategy and communications, with a special focus on social media and Internet marketing. I have worked with internationally recognized institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sotheby’s, SITE Santa Fe, and numerous galleries and international art fairs. I am a published author and invited speaker on the topic of how the Internet is changing the business of art. In 2011, after several months meeting with artists in their studios and recording videos of our conversations, I began exhibiting and selling the work of emerging and international artists through Kianga Ellis Projects, an exhibition program that hosts conversations about the studio practice and work of invited contemporary artists. I launched the project in Santa Fe, New Mexico ⎯Kianga Ellis Projects is now located in an artist loft building in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

Twitter chief executive Dick Costolo also announced at the All Things Digital technology conference here that the San Francisco-based service was upgrading its search function. Twitter will begin allowing users to upload pictures and attach them to "tweets" directly from Twitter.com, Costolo said. "It's part of the native data of the tweet," he said, adding that the decision to launch a photo-sharing service stemmed from a "need to remove the friction of adding photos to Twitter." Twitter said that its official mobile applications will also provide a photo-sharing feature and the service will be available in the next several weeks.
